Our representative Galatasaray was defeated by Bayern Munich with a score of 3-1 in the 3rd match of UEFA Champions League Group A.
After the match, yellow-reds coach Okan Buruk made remarkable statements.
HERE ARE OKAN BURUK’S STATEMENTS:
Perhaps those watching have not seen Bayern Munich being crushed like this in a long time, not only in terms of shooting but also in terms of play.
The result is important. We were clearly superior in the first half. The fans also had great support. Support and the game united. That was our plan. Individually, if we were today, we could have scored 5-6 points in the first half.
Bayern Munich is the second favorite for the Champions League. We have achieved great superiority as a game. There were positions that we took and misused and lost. Bayern Munich used transitions well. But it was important to reveal this game. Bayern were better than us in finishing. We couldn’t respond after 2-1. We conceded a goal just as we were making a change. Their morale was not affected either. We did good work, it was the match we had to win.
We played the Beşiktaş derby, you expect fatigue. We ran back very hard. From time to time, players’ fatigue appears after a certain amount of time. We wanted to close it with changes, but it didn’t work. Our plan worked, but the second goal made us lose the match.
We want to get out of the group in the Champions League. We have a home game against Manchester United and two away games. The results of other matches are also important. But the only goal is to get out of the group.
